Yeah, I've already eaten four pieces of the finished product. You can't tell anything's off from the look and feel. The taste strikes me as slightly different than normal, but still quite tasty.

Do you have any tips for pepping up a flagging Shoggoth, if needed?

(1) Make sure you're not using chlorinated water when you feed it.
(2) Make sure it's getting adequate ventilation.
(3) Try giving it a nice big meal. Two cups of flour and a cup of water, and then allow it to sit overnight, covered, in a nice warm spot in a big bowl. If it is bubbling, take out half, use it to make something, and feed the remaining half again. Let it sit out twelve more hours, tuck it back into its nice clean jar, and stick it back in the fridge.

With luck, rescued shoggoth!

Thanks! If he hasn't perked up more by the next time I make shoggoth loaf, I'll give this a whirl.

(Hope your evening is more exciting than mine -- paying bills and answering business e-mails while mandolinjen goes to her weekly maternity swim.)
